Description: After surviving the death of their parents and time with an abusive aunt and uncle, Riley and Aidan each try to put the past behind them as Aidan joins the military and Riley goes to college where she plays the cello in the school's orchestra.
Notes: Siblings Riley and Aidan Gordon are survivors. Together, they survived an abusive childhood, and when a fiery accident incinerates all they have except for each other they survive that too. The tragedy leaves them with burdens and pain beyond their years, but it also sets them free to forge their own paths. Aidans road to happiness seems smooth and carefree. But Riley continues to struggle, her only saving grace being a passion for music that helps soothe her damaged soul. As their paths diverge and college looms, Riley will have to depend less on Aidan and more on herself. Fear of failure drives her, but will finding love derail her single minded determination to succeed, or will it open the door to the family shes always wanted?
